habitat suitability index models and instream flow suitability curves

MODEL EVALVATION FORMHabitat models are designed for a wide variety of planning applicationswhere habitat information is an important consideration in thedecision process. However, it is impossible to develop a model thatperforms equally well in all situations. Assistance from users andresearchers is an important part of the model improvement process. Eachmodel is published individually to facilitate updating and reprinting asnew i nformati on becomes ava i 1ab1e. User feedback on model performancewill assist in improving habitat models for future applications. Pleasecomplete this form following application or review of the model. Feelfree to include additional information that may be of use to either amodel developer or model user. We also would appreciate information onmodel testing, modification, and application, as well as copies of modifiedmodels or test results.
